millionaire, la New York City on Sep?
tember S3, lbOv. was pardoned to-night
by Governor L>ix.
l'atr:, k who wa- aered from the
electric chair by the late 'iovernor
Higgins in December, labt, rna'tt a
remarkable fight for freedom. A law?

1 lght to cancel the original sentence

"Ther<> baa elwajrn been an air of

ernor lc\said. 'Quoting from the mi?
nority opinion of the >"ourt of Appeals.
I he atmewpbere that aarteiiaded the
defendant showed that s fair and im
; artial trial was scarcely pOSSikve.
? I trust that Mr. I'atrick will devote
his energies to a complete vindication
of his declared innocence
??During the par-; y ar. 1 have given
te.ueh consideration to this case and
am convinced that the defendant is
entitled to have a full pardon."
May. Be Released to-day.
Governor Dlx said Superintendent of
State Prisons Scott and scores of
prominent citizens had appealed to him
ir. Patrick's behalf. The pardon was
mailed to-night to Warden John S.
Kennedy, of Sing Sing, and Patrick
may be released to-inorrow upon its
receipt.
It is said Patrick plans to leave for
St. LuvI?. tiee home of John F. Mel li?
ken. Til* *tos3TieT-!n-l*w. but mary re?

for the millions left by the aged man
with whose murder he was charged.
Mr. Milllken aided I'atrick in his;
fight.for freedom and. it is reported.:
WrtU assist him In his efforts to prove'
his innocence. At no time during his]
long incarceration in Sing Sing, four;
years of which were spent in the death i
bouse, has I'atrick given up the hope j
of gaining his freedom Letter after
latter has been receive! at the execu
Use chamber urging that he be par- j
doned. and each, successive Governor ;
since Governor Oeitll has :een asked to i
extend executive clemency.
Governor Higgins was so impressed
with the prisoner's plea that he granted
him three respites. and eventually
commuted his sentence from death to
life imprisonment.
Patrick was charged with having
brought about the death of Mr. Rice,
not by his own hand, but through th-.
agency af Charles F. Jones, a valet
employed by Rice It was principally
upon the testimony i f Jones, who con- .
fessed having administered chloroform
to Rice, at the behest of Patrick, while ,
he was asleep, that Patrick was con
victed. Jones escaped punishment, and .
has long been able to hide his iden-1
tity from the public. At last reports
he was said to be in Texas.
BmSBBBt Hlxglas Acted.
In savins Patrick from the death
chair Governor Higgins gave these
reasons: "It Is not claimed that Patrick
committed the murder In person, but i
that he procured the act to be done. '
He has been convicted principally upon
the testimony of Charles F. Jones, who
confessed that he murdered his mas?
ter while he lay as>ep. instigated by
Patrick, and Jones, by this testimony,
has purchased his own Immunity from
trial or punishment. Neither this fact
alone nor the review of any ques?
tion of fact already passed upon by ?
the courts at some stage of these pro- j
ceedlngs would seem to me to warrant '
interfering with the Judgment of death
pronounced against the defendant, but !
three of the judges of the Court of 1
Appeals were so strongly of the . pinion 1
that errors were committed at the trial
which w< re substantia !y prejudicial to
the rights of I'atrick that I feel that
the death penalty ought not under '
these circumstances to be Inflicted." J
Patrick was sentenced originally j
April 7. 1S02. to die the wc-k commeac- ?
ing May and was immediately taken |
to the Sing Sing death house. An SP- I
peal was taken, and on June 1. 19". S.
the eonviction was affirmed by the

Eventually the ease was *aken to the
t'nlted States Supreav Court, whk-b
dismissed the appeal for waat of Ju?
risdiction.
The comm-:tetton of Patrick's Sen-1
fence by Qoeerner Hlrglrs did not oad,
the legal flgbt. Patrick contended that
the sentence of death ha 1 been com?

I the ground that their present bonds.1

the Federal Court to~da.y mat "within

I tervals between sessions of the trial.
, The court held that as it was on tne
\ eve of a holiday, he would not enforce
' his ruling to-nignt. in which event, at
| torneys for the defense said, the de?

I fendants Mr Mlile, Intimated that

Tension Over Balkan Sit?

Time, at Least.
DANGER POINT

England and Germany Working

While Word Comes That

Want War?Peace Pap
ley Continues.
London, November 27.?The tension
In the Balkan crisis is relieved by tha
news that the puaco plenipotentiaries
?re continuing tholr negutlat on*. onS
that Great Urltaln and Germany are
working actively to guln a peaceful
settlement between Austria and Hervla.
According to one Constantinople re?
port, the dl?cutties of arranging a
formal armistice are so great that the
negotiations are taking the form of
seeking a basis for peace.
The danger of the reopening of hos?
tilities, however, is still serious. Ap?
parently only mi informal armistice
of forty-eight hours has been agreed
upon, and It is reported that Bulgarian
forces ;ir?. already moving cioser to
the Tchatalja lines and entrenching;
themselves in readiness to renew the
attack.
The Turks have an army of over
1 "O.OOo. and soon will have 130.000,
for the most part fresh, picked troops,
behind the lines, and. according to all
the reports, they will give a good ac?
count of themselves if fighting is re*
sumed.
Under these circumstance, with
Adrianople and Scutari still holding
o-t. Turkey is little likely to ?.?W
a very yielding attitude in the
negotiations.
The report that the Servians hat
reached Ouraaso appears to he
mature.
A wireless d'spatch of to-day's
brings the interesting news that Al?
banian independence has been pro?
claimed there; that the Turkish gov
! ernor is prepsring to depart, and that
the town is accepting without opposi?
tion the new regime.
What attitude the Servian army and
government will assume toward thla
development should afford some Idea,
as to whether, as reported. Servia ig
I willing to accept the suggestion of an.
I autonomoua Albania.
The greatest weight Is attached la
. the diplomatic world to the seemingly
well-authenticated report that Great
Britain and Germany are now acting
in cordial co-operation on the basis of
postponing all side issues unUl tfl&r
the Turkish-Balkan war settlement. A
j rcassuiWi^ statement also? comes front
Petersburg that Russia and Aus?
tria do not desire to tight over a port
in the Adriatic.
Thus, what appeared to be an im?
minent danger of Europe being divided
I into two hostile camps comes to be dis
[sipated for the time being at least.

clalist newspaper Vorwearts.
In discussing the new budget, th*
newspaper points out that the item eff
$31.500.900 entered as for the general
finance administration. "Is really taw
